I know screen time before bed is a bad idea but I' I know screen time before bed is a bad idea but I'm wide awake after falling asleep with the boys earlier. I've logged off but browsing @happiful_magazine free online. It's a gorgeous monthly mental health and wellbeing magazine on a mission to create a healthier and happier society through inspiring life stories and positive news. It's well worth a read and when cash flow is better I'm tempted to subscribe to the printed copy and donate it to my local GP surgery after I finish with it!
We had a gorgeous, finger freezing family day out We had a gorgeous, finger freezing family day out at Avebury stone circle today. Euan has been learning about the prehistoric age at school this term and making a model of Stonehenge for his homework so it was a great choice for our first National Trust visit of the year. Membership is such good value for a family day out. We love Croome, Newark Park, Dyrhum Park and Westbury Court Gardens. Do you have any other recommendations? . #nationaltrustmember #childhoodunplugged #lovemyboys💙
Rain didn't stop play for a trip to our favourite Rain didn't stop play for a trip to our favourite bird park @wwtslimbridge . Luca falling in the water at the stepping stones nearly did though! It was just as I was filming his "last time to show Daddy" 😮. When he watched the video later it actually helped him feel better about getting soaked as he could see exactly why he'd slipped. I think the fall had bruised his ego more than his knee! Either way he keeps asking to watch his "splat in the pond" video and belly laughs at his mishap. . #gloucesterlife #childhoodunplugged #wwt #feedthebirds
We spent a gorgeous day yesterday celebrating Kane We spent a gorgeous day yesterday celebrating Kane and Emma's wedding (pic nabbed from Emma's Dad - I didn't take any photos as our friend @shane_j_young was photographing the day and I know they'll be amazing). . George wasn't impressed when I pinched his wedding favour to take home for the boys (Dad life eh!) Look how happy they are to be nomming chocolate brownie hearts for elevenses though 🥰. . #gloucesterlife #lovemyboys💙 #emandkane2020

"Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. "Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones." -- Bruce Garrabrandt. . As parents it's a rare thing to take time out for yourself. It's even more rare to take time to be creative. Today I got to do both to celebrate this lovely one, my sister-in-law Catherine, turning 40. . I've taken the boys to @kftreasureseekers make and take sessions before but been on kid watch making sure beads aren't emptied out everywhere. It was a real treat to chill for 45 minutes without kids and to be reminded that creativity is good for the soul. It's not about the end result but enjoying the process. £5 well spent! . #beingcreative #gloucesterlife

Belated birthday lunch with my beloved in the hote Belated birthday lunch with my beloved in the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night over 20 years ago! Rose lemonade and chicken pie for me. Lager and steak for him. Nostalgia and a walk on our favourite Crickley Hill won out. Thank you for all the great pub lunch suggestions though 💖 . #gloucesterlife #marryyourbestfriend👫

An after school toddle to Gloucester Cathedral to An after school toddle to Gloucester Cathedral to see the "Where is the light?" installation which celebrates 20 years of support for asylum seekers and refugees from local charity GARAS. As the lights change an audio narrative plays featuring 4 stories from people who have now settled in Gloucester with the help of GARAS. . The boys did really well with containing the urge to run and touch every single light. I don't think the photographer's that were there planned on my boys photo bombing their attempts at the perfect shot though! .

Charlies is available to anyone affected by cancer and offers free holistic therapies and relaxation exercises. Charlies is open from 10-2pm Tues-Thurs and on the first Tuesday of the month from 7-9pm (yes that's tonight) . #worldcancerday #cancersupport #gloucesterlife
Have you heard "Hold your breath", the new release Have you heard "Hold your breath", the new release from @thepowderedearth on @spotify yet? It's a poignant reflection on the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and particularly haunting with the visuals Shane has put together for this YouTube video (link to full length version in my bio). Please follow George or @shane_j_young to be the first to hear about the next release (they're releasing a new song on the last day of each month throughout 2020). . #loveourplanet #gloucesterlife #environmentalists #ourplanetweek #

The middle of January is always a reflective time The middle of January is always a reflective time of year for me. On Euan's birthday my thoughts scan back to all the years we yearned for a baby and what it took to get him. On Mum's birthday the day after I am grateful for family and friends who check in with us as they pause to remember her too. My first blog post of 2020 is a "remembering Mum" post (link in bio if you're interested). Writing is so good for the soul. I'm resolved to do more of it this year ! . #rememberingmum #gloucesterlife #nipitinthebudblog #newblogpost #mumbloggeruk
Euan is deeply in love with all things Pokémon at Euan is deeply in love with all things Pokémon at the moment. For those of you who know him well you also know what an artist he is. What a winning birthday present from @moggylm - "How to draw Pokémon". He's gifting this first picture to his best friend at school 😍
Hooray hooray, Euan's 8 today! Thank you for all Hooray hooray, Euan's 8 today! Thank you for all his birthday wishes, he said it's his best day ever 💕 . So far we've had the pool and soft play to ourselves and 2 out of 4 of us are now snoozing to charge up for the next adventure (ten pin bowling today, archery, more swimming and decoupage crafting tomorrow). This place @manorashbury is so awesome, who's gonna join us next time? . #manorhouseandashburyhotels #childhoodunplugged
It's our last day with a 7 year old! Some days I It's our last day with a 7 year old! Some days I just stare at this beautiful soul. He has the kindest heart and gentlest manner, with moments of intense fire when something he cares about is broken or hurt. He cries over injustice and feels other people's pain. He's often deep in thought and listens to music in the car to help reduce feelings of motion sickness. He's listening to Lucky Strike right now as we travel to Devon for the weekend. We're staying at The Ashbury, a sports and crafts hotel, which is well worth looking up if you have kids and want a fun break away and no cooking to think about! Happy Friday all x
